It’s not every day you get to party with a Prince, but that’s what these soldiers had in store!
Prince Harry showed off his casual side by having a pint with injured veterans on Armistice Day.
The redheaded royal let the beer flow during his engagement at St James Palace where he spoke to veterans, mingled and then gave a speech.
Giving a call to action for support for injured servicemen and veterans, Prince Harry focused his attention on uplifting those “hard to reach”, who are in need of support.
Representing his Endeavour Fund, the Prince urged the veterans and servicemen in the room to come forward and become mentors for those who were still struggling with their injuries.
“In this next phase of the Endeavour Fund, we will be asking those who have taken part in previous endeavours to take a leading role in future challenges as project managers but more significantly to act as peer mentors, forming a support network for those veterans who have not found the impulse to come forward,” said Prince Harry.

“Our alumni are ideally placed to help these ‘hard to reach’ individuals rediscover their sense of purpose through sport,” said Harry.
“For some people, the struggle to move beyond injury or past experience continues,” he continued.
“They suffer in silence, unwilling or unaware of which way to turn for help; for whatever reason they have become ‘the hard to reach’.”
“No longer accessible through the traditional networks, as they have gone to ground, believing that the right help isn’t out there for them, or it’s all just too confusing and complicated.”
